The current IWGP Tag Champions Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler will be heading to Japan to participate in the NJPW Battle Autumn show on November 5.
It has not yet been confirmed if this will be a IWGP Tag Team Title match.
NJPW made the announcement via social media:

While there haven’t been opponents named for FTR as of this writing, FTR has asked NJPW to send their best to face them on November 5.
After their classic match at Royal Quest II in London, one has to wonder if we will get an FTR vs Aussie Open rematch at Battle Autumn on November 5. Mark Davis and Kyle Fletcher, the current NJPW Strong Openweight Tag Team Champions, are scheduled for Battle Autumn and don’t have opponents as of this writing either.
In addition to the IWGP Tag Titles, Wheeler and Harwood also hold the AAA and ROH Tag Team Championships.
This will be FTR’s first appearance in Japan as IWGP Tag Team Champions.
Here is the updated card for NJPW Battle Autumn:
– FTR vs. TBA
– IWGP US Championship: Will Ospreay (c) vs. Tetsuya Naito
– NEVER Openweight Championship: Karl Anderson (c) vs. Hikuleo
– Taiji Ishimori, Master Wato, El Desperado, and Hiromu Takahashi compete in a wild card tag match
– Aussie Open (Mark Davis & Kyle Fletcher) vs. TBA
– NJPW World TV Title Tournament Semifinals
